Sure, it was right in this case. But I highly recommend, in general, avoiding that site or looking for a primary source; it is wrong much more than it is right.
Not really. I tried playing with different settings, but it's tough to get them to fully separate.
That's Loki.
Interesting. So I'm guessing that's how AA will work when it comes native.
Yep that's my expectation.
did you try playing music from the car native system and then switch to AA? does native music even play? And, I suppose even if it did, with no control screen available, it would be sub-optimal as well. hopefully they will bring a gravity split-screen experience to Air (does it have one?? I assume yes?). Funny thing is that split screen is so much of a basic requirement that I wonder why neither they nor my prior car (polestar) figured that out during design.
Yes. You can play music from the car's native system. You need to enter the music screen in the upper screen to select and play the music. Once you do so, you can then enter the Apple CarPlay (in my case the Android Auto adapter) screen via the home icon in the upper screen. Once you switch back to the Apple CarPlay screen, the only place you can see what music track is playing is on the right side of the screen behind the dash.
Yeah that was the hope that you could use a car app, show it on the lower screen, then start carplay AA on the upper. At least it's something. Ok, we'll see how often I use AA when it is released native.
When the Air is end of life.Android Auto will be coming to Lucid when it is end of life
I was able to get the third model on my list above to work. At a promotional discount of 40% from the list price of $69, it was a much lower cost and functional alternative than the 3.0 CarlinKit Ai Box.
Very interesting and not expensive! What do you find the benefits to be? One would be running Google maps on an easy to see screen (vs cup holder mount for my phone). Another is your music player. Besides those, what do you find it adds? (Serious question, not trolling here). I'm fully into the Android and Google ecosystem but without an ability to drop a native lucid app onto the lower screen, I really wonder how much I'll use it (assuming it's similar to carplay). What are your thoughts?
It'd be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath. And I'd rather SOMETHING get released sooner rather than waiting longer for that feature.
Thanks SoCal. You have done a good deed!
By the way, you can turn on album art already. There's a thread somewhere in forum. Basically you turn on developer options on your phone and change the Bluetooth MAP mode. Mine is MAP 1.4 and my AVRCP version is 1.6. it took my phone and / or my car a reboot and maybe a disconnect and reconnect to the car, but now the album art works when I have Bluetooth as the music source. It's much better with the art.
Thanks I'll give that a shot.
I come from Maserati and Porsche and I've been hooked hot and heavy to AA for few years. But those cars support AA/Car Play natively while using standard rectangular LCD screens.
Yes, I agree. It appears that Lucid AA release will function similar to Car Play and it will cut out a rectangle on the cockpit LCD leaving parts of it unused. And it will not allow for extending to the pilot screen. I hear from Lucid Studio reps here in OC CA that running multiple apps on cockpit and pilot screen is the most sought after feature from the Lucid user community and their developers are well aware of it. We just have to wait and see when/if that happens. As a person with development bakground, I dream of Lucid and other car companies openings some hooks for third party extensions so that many of these requests can be realized and offered thru user communities. Oh well.
